But when one[a] turns to the Lord, the veil is removed.17 Now the Lord[b] is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.18 And we all, with unveiled face, beholding the glory of the Lord,[c] are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another. For this comes from the Lord who is the Spirit.

September is our journey through the 2 minute series called “Restoring Joy”. I want to invite you to join me as we. It’s as simple as viewing the vlog and reading the passage for the day. Today’s passage is 1 Chron. 16:7-36:

1 Chronicles 16:7-36

7 Then on that day David first appointed that thanksgiving be sung to the Lord by Asaph and his brothers.

8 Oh give thanks to the Lord; call upon his name;
make known his deeds among the peoples!9 Sing to him, sing praises to him;
tell of all his wondrous works!10 Glory in his holy name;
let the hearts of those who seek the Lord rejoice!11 Seek the Lord and his strength;
seek his presence continually!12 Remember the wondrous works that he has done,
his miracles and the judgments he uttered,13 O offspring of Israel his servant,
children of Jacob, his chosen ones!

14 He is the Lord our God;
his judgments are in all the earth.15 Remember his covenant forever,
the word that he commanded, for a thousand generations,16 the covenant that he made with Abraham,
his sworn promise to Isaac,17 which he confirmed to Jacob as a statute,
to Israel as an everlasting covenant,18 saying, “To you I will give the land of Canaan,
as your portion for an inheritance.”

19 When you were few in number,
of little account, and sojourners in it,20 wandering from nation to nation,
from one kingdom to another people,21 he allowed no one to oppress them;
he rebuked kings on their account,22 saying, “Touch not my anointed ones,
do my prophets no harm!”

23 Sing to the Lord, all the earth!
Tell of his salvation from day to day.24 Declare his glory among the nations,
his marvelous works among all the peoples!25 For great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised,
and he is to be feared above all gods.26 For all the gods of the peoples are worthless idols,
but the Lord made the heavens.27 Splendor and majesty are before him;
strength and joy are in his place.

28 Ascribe to the Lord, O families of the peoples,
ascribe to the Lord glory and strength!29 Ascribe to the Lord the glory due his name;
bring an offering and come before him!
Worship the Lord in the splendor of holiness;[a]30 tremble before him, all the earth;
yes, the world is established; it shall never be moved.31 Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice,
and let them say among the nations, “The Lord reigns!”32 Let the sea roar, and all that fills it;
let the field exult, and everything in it!33 Then shall the trees of the forest sing for joy
before the Lord, for he comes to judge the earth.34 Oh give thanks to the Lord, for he is good;
for his steadfast love endures forever!

35 Say also:

“Save us, O God of our salvation,
and gather and deliver us from among the nations,
that we may give thanks to your holy name
and glory in your praise.36 Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel,
from everlasting to everlasting!”

September is our journey through the 2 minute series called “Restoring Joy”. I want to invite you to join me as we. It’s as simple as viewing the vlog and reading the passage for the day. Today’s passage is Psalm 51:

Psalm 51

according to your steadfast love;
according to your abundant mercy
blot out my transgressions.2 Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity,
and cleanse me from my sin!

3 For I know my transgressions,
and my sin is ever before me.4 Against you, you only, have I sinned
and done what is evil in your sight,
so that you may be justified in your words
and blameless in your judgment.5 Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity,
and in sin did my mother conceive me.6 Behold, you delight in truth in the inward being,
and you teach me wisdom in the secret heart.

7 Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean;
wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.8 Let me hear joy and gladness;
let the bones that you have broken rejoice.9 Hide your face from my sins,
and blot out all my iniquities.10 Create in me a clean heart, O God,
and renew a right[b] spirit within me.11 Cast me not away from your presence,
and take not your Holy Spirit from me.12 Restore to me the joy of your salvation,
and uphold me with a willing spirit.

13 Then I will teach transgressors your ways,
and sinners will return to you.14 Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God,
O God of my salvation,
and my tongue will sing aloud of your righteousness.15 O Lord, open my lips,
and my mouth will declare your praise.16 For you will not delight in sacrifice, or I would give it;
you will not be pleased with a burnt offering.17 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit;
a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise.

18 Do good to Zion in your good pleasure;
build up the walls of Jerusalem;19 then will you delight in right sacrifices,
in burnt offerings and whole burnt offerings;
then bulls will be offered on your altar.

September is our journey through the 2 minute series called “Restoring Joy”. I want to invite you to join me as we. It’s as simple as viewing the vlog and reading the passage for the day. Today’s passage is Psalm 90:

Psalm 90

Lord, you have been our dwelling place[a]
in all generations.2 Before the mountains were brought forth,
or ever you had formed the earth and the world,
from everlasting to everlasting you are God.

3 You return man to dust
and say, “Return, O children of man!”[b]4 For a thousand years in your sight
are but as yesterday when it is past,
or as a watch in the night.

5 You sweep them away as with a flood; they are like a dream,
like grass that is renewed in the morning:6 in the morning it flourishes and is renewed;
in the evening it fades and withers.

7 For we are brought to an end by your anger;
by your wrath we are dismayed.8 You have set our iniquities before you,
our secret sins in the light of your presence.

9 For all our days pass away under your wrath;
we bring our years to an end like a sigh.10 The years of our life are seventy,
or even by reason of strength eighty;
yet their span[c] is but toil and trouble;
they are soon gone, and we fly away.11 Who considers the power of your anger,
and your wrath according to the fear of you?

12 So teach us to number our days
that we may get a heart of wisdom.13 Return, O Lord! How long?
Have pity on your servants!14 Satisfy us in the morning with your steadfast love,
that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.15 Make us glad for as many days as you have afflicted us,
and for as many years as we have seen evil.16 Let your work be shown to your servants,
and your glorious power to their children.17 Let the favor[d] of the Lord our God be upon us,
and establish the work of our hands upon us;
yes, establish the work of our hands!
